117 pages. Archie and friends have some complications when solar flares disrupt their taxi operation and shut down lots of gadgets, etc. There is a girl in a bubble who does missing and other challenges along the way. Lots of humor and teamwork. Kids will enjoy this one. Highly recommended for Grades 4-5. I am not sure if this is the final book of the series, but I tried to find out if there are any more…maybe more to come. Who knows but the author…

This is the first I've read of this series. I've got the first three ordered so I can learn more about it. I'm wishing I had found them in March. This is just what Zack needed - a little more than Rider Woofson and the Data Set, but not as much as Melonhead or Justin Case. It is the bridge that I needed. I may send him one in the mail to see if it's a match.

A cute inter-galatic story that kids are sure to enjoy. I'm not sure I'd ever say I love this book, but it was fun and I will probably try more in the series. I could do without the science facts at the end, but otherwise it was a good story.
